It comes as no surprise that only palindrome lovers could guess my Halloween costume this year:

"I'm a lasagna, Pacifica panga salami."

Not the first one we've had. Website below has an analysis of the operation with pictures of an almost identical boat, down to the divided compartments.

"As figure 2 indicates, panga routes have progressively moved northward reaching reach into Santa Cruz just south of San Francisco. These panga boats launch from Baja California and travel north to staging areas in international waters. Larger boats with fuel, supply the smaller pangas extending their range. Unlike 'go-fast boats,' pangas do not rely on speed, but on a low radar profile due to fiberglass construction, nighttime deliveries, and the vastness of the littoral to evade law enforcement."
